Ideas Bursting Out

We have been challenged by  Juliet at the Roots and Shoots Foundation to come up with an earth/eco project, a people project and an animal project. Forres Prep is already so involved with outreach at Kiddies Educare in Philippi, that we thought we would wait a while for a new People Project to inspire us. We LOVE animals of all sorts and so this is going to take some time before we can find a specific Animal Campaign to look after and make our own. So, after brainstorming and looking at what we would like to get involved in, we decided that something to do with plants, growing things and digging in sand was our first choice. We are very excited about getting our hands into the soil and making things grow.

The first set of ideas are brewing around experimenting with creating and designing easy-to-use, productive and economically sustainable veggie gardens. We like the idea of developing Tyre Gardens  and want to try our hand at actually growing a few. We will need some guidance as to how to set them up. We want to design the sort of family-sized-easy-to-maintain-and-renew veggie garden which EVERY family can set up. So actually this is more a People Project after all. YAY!!

Now while we get going with digging, we must think of an Eco Project!

They develop these gardens all around the world - and we would love to get the idea out there to more and more families to grow gardens themselves: after all EVERYONE benefits from loads of fresh veggies!
